I have been to BA several times, and this hotel remains on top every time. We were given an upgrade to a suite without asking. We stayed a week and were well acquainted with the layout which is very comfortable. They have the best breakfasts in South America. Also, we took advantage of the lovely stores around Recoleta and Palermo.... more

As soon as we walked through the door I felt special - you could sence the atmosphere and history from the golden decor and surroundings. Check in was easy and personable and we were given all the information we needed before being shown to our room. I had booked a junior deluxe suite but when we walked in with a... more

If you come to Buenos Aires, no matter what your budget, you must try this hotel. There you will experience the ultimate in royal treatment at an affordable price with the current value of the peso. Breakfast could be improved as some of the lesser hotels in BA had better selection of food. However the rooms more than make up... more

Stayed at the hotel and had the tea. The best high tea we have ever had. The desserts weren't just high fat pretty to look at and taste the same. They were all FABULOUS and all different. I couldn't get enough. The setting was beautiful and the people watching fun. What appeared to be old family Buenos Aires ladies looking... more

Beautifully restored hotel in a good location. Staff was rude and uncooperative. No sense of customer service or flexibility. Was sent to Business Ctr upon a very early arrival. No option offered to check in and pay for an early check in. Had to wait 6 hrs for my room to become available. Buenos Aires has plenty of options. Would... more

The Alvear experience was out of this world - everything was perfect. The hotel is beautiful, the rooms impeccable, the breakfast amazing. The location is superb in Buenos AIres' Recoleta neighborhood. The service was fantastic - everything is thought through and the staff is very attentive (room service's children's menu made us adults want to stay in). Don't miss a... more

I wouldn't normally make a 2nd review of Alvear hadn't it been for the exceptional service performed by Ms Salvagno after my husband forgot in the safe some papers a checkbook and atm cards.She sent them by Fed EX ,everything came perfectly.I cannot understand how anyone can say staff is rude ,they go out of their way ,except one lady... more

Pompous and arrogant staff at a beautiful hotel. Shame the staff ruins the complete experience however there are many other well located hotels in B.A. to include Park Hyatt and Four Seasons. Unpleasant and unhelpful team. more

I stayed at the Alvear for a work program for 8 days - service is flawless. The entire staff from front desk to butlers are amazing. I live in San Diego and tend to be somewhat casual - be prepared, dress codes are important. No shorts for dining (that includes breakfast), shirts/dresses with sleeves are requested. They don't say anything... more
